    Here’s some facts from Wikipedia on the highest female achivement in chess – by Judith Polgar. Peak Rating: 2735 (July 2005)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Polgar
    On the January 1996 FIDE ratings list, Polgár’s 2675 rating made her the number 10 ranked player in the world, the first woman ever to enter the world’s Top Ten.
    In 2003, Polgár scored one of her best results: an undefeated clear second place in the Category 19 Corus chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, just a half-point behind Indian star Viswanathan Anand, and a full point ahead of world champion Vladimir Kramnik.
    Now these kind of achivements are something to be REALLY PROUD OF.
    (For any father out there encouraging his daughters to enter the game of chess….)
